Posting Summary
There is a postdoc position available in Dr. Alison Bernsteins lab in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute ( EOHSI )/Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy Rutgers University. This position is funded by grants from the National Institute of Environmental Health ( NIEHS ) and National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke ( NINDS ). Dr. Bernsteins research focuses on the role of epigenetics and the environment in the etiology of sporadic Parkinsons disease. The candidate will focus on 1-2 of the following projects: (1) epigenetic analysis in a mouse models of Parkinsons disease related exposures (2) elucidating molecular mechanisms of pesticide-induced changes in DNA methylation in a 3D neurosphere model in vitro and (3) characterizing molecular mechanisms underlying increased susceptibility in an in vivo two-hit exposure model of Parkinsons disease. Rutgers University is one of the largest research universities and has outstanding resources and facilities that support state-of-the-art research. Both Dr. Bernsteins home department and EOHSI are nationally and internationally recognized for their basic and clinical research on pharmacology toxicology and exposure science. Dr. Bernsteins research team has access to outstanding facilities of Genomics Genetics Proteomics Confocal and high-content imaging Histopathology Analytical Chemistry Flow Cytometry etc. Rutgers University provides an excellent career development and training environment for postdoc researchers.
